In four experiments, we show that goals associated with approach and avoidance needs influence persuasion and that the accessibility of distinct self-views moderates these effects. Specifically, individuals with an accessible independent self-…

The known functional form of the conditional characteristic function (CCF) of discretely sampled observations from an affine diffusion is used to develop computationally tractable and asymptotically efficient estimators of the parameters of…

This paper investigates the individual and joint effects of group incentive pay and problem-solving teams on productivity. To estimate models of adoption of these work practices and models of the effects of the work practices on productivity, we…

When a company seeks to evaluate its impact on society, there are two lenses that can be used: the company can consider the impact of its corporate social responsibility (CSR) function by appraising its financial and in-kind contributions or it…

We document that purchasing (selling short) stocks with the most (least) favorable consensus recommendations, in conjunction with daily portfolio rebalancing and a timely response to recommendation changes, yield annual abnormal gross returns…

This paper analyzes the role of private information in U.S. Forest Service timber auctions. In these auctions, firms bid a per unit price for each timber species. Total bids are computed by multiplying these prices by Forest Service volume…

We analyze a model of oligopolistic competition with ongoing investment. Special cases include incremental investment, patent races, learning by doing, and network externalities. We investigate circumstances under which a firm with low costs or…

The garbage can theory of organizational choice is one of the best-known innovations in modern organization theory. It also has significantly shaped a major branch of the new institutionalism. Yet, the theory has not received the systematic…

Although much research on stereotyping has documented significant negative consequences for the targets of unfavorable racial stereotypes, relatively little work has examined negative implications for the holders of such stereotypes. The present…

Building on the Dechow et al. (1998) model of the accrual process, this study investigates the role of accruals in predicting future cash flows. The model shows that each accrual component reflects different information relating to future cash…

Supply chain managers face a rapidly evolving and often bewildering array of competing standards, approaches and regulations. They require practical approaches to quantifying greenhouse gas emissions, both for voluntary disclosure and management…

Access rights on a transmission network possess high degree of inherent differentiation. On a rail network this is further complicated by the need to meet feasibility constraints in scheduling. Common approaches to access pricing focus on…

We examine the SEC’s 1992 proxy reforms that expanded the amount of information about executive pay that is required to be disclosed in corporate proxy statements and permitted shareholders to file proxy proposals about executive compensation.…
